  1. Already said up thread, but I’m 32 and she’s 29. I’ve been in more longer term relationships than her, including deciding to leave a girl that I started dating in college that I was with for 4 years, because I just knew I hadn’t met the one yet where I felt certain. With that said, I think she’s dated a lot of what she doesn’t want too. She tells me no one treats her better than me, and she feels so incredibly loved. I’m not dropping any kind of money really to accomplish this (we share rent, me 2/3rds bc I make 3 times her salary), but things like starting her work days with making her pour over coffee, listening, doing little sweet things for her, eating her ass better than any man has before, etc. Another positive going for her, her parents are still married, even though they’ve had their problems, in part due to the more traditional culture they come from. She’s born in Mexico, and comes from a more simple upbringing. No one on her side of the family will be putting pressure on us for anything extravagant as far as a wedding is concerned. She just wants all of her family to be present, based on everything she’s communicated. I feel like based on my dating experience, I’ll never be more sure.
  2. If you’re right I’ll happily eat crow. We’ve spent every day together in the past year and a three quarters. I’d rather take a leap of faith with someone who has routinely shown how much she cares about me and our future, and has grown tremendously in terms of selflessness and thoughtfulness in the time we’ve been together. The alternative is me being alone, bitter, and treating women like transactions. I prefer to see the good in the world at this point in my life.
  3. Never said the latter to be the case. In fact I said she’s reasonable and logical when I clearly communicate facts. With all of the ways she’s been reasonable and cost conscious, I’m happy to get her a large diamond. For context, she started her own fashion thrifting business on PoshMark. She sold all of her designer shit she got from idiots throwing money at her. She goes to buy clothes by the pound for a dollar each, and ends up selling them for anywhere between 15-60 profit. This is in addition to her day job. All of this also quells her want to shop for clothes. Now she’s shopping for profit and I don’t have to pay a single cent for any of her clothes because she’s keeping the fashionable thrifty clothes for herself or buying them used off of PoshMark with her own money that she made.
  4. And that’s a flaw of mine. More than anything I just want to get her something that makes her really really happy.
  5. Luckily she said she doesn’t want a fancy wedding. Something like in a backyard or a park (re: little to no facilities cost.) I’m a really good cook and could make a lot of finger foods and we maybe just cater dinner. She has friends that are DJs in Denver that are looking for resume builders and can be had on the cheap. She’s very reasonable.
  6. Haha yea that’s insane. I’m not putting 33K on anyone’s finger until we live in a million dollar house.
  7. I’ve looked at bands and diamonds and all in no more than 14K and that is with a platinum band and another half carat in diamonds on the band, which is a little more than I need to get to make her really happy. I agree with her that something that looks big on her finger is something a girl like her deserves. She used to date 40 year old men that were millionaires. She’s been in almost every brand of exotic car. She’s lived in Denver most her life, and I’m pretty certain I’m Eskimo Bros with Ty Lawson, based on the fact she said she’s been to his house numerous times. I’m her sweet spot of closer to age, mature, old soul (she is too), with the ability to provide for the family we both want without having the poors.
  8. And that is the reaction I’m hoping to get by some people. She’s a knockout, if anyone is going to be rocking a good sized diamond, she’s one of them.
  9. Actually she’s willing to sign a prenup. I told her she’d never take any of my stock (I’m in tech and will be investing more in the future), 401K, and I wouldn’t pay alimony, unless something like I cheated occurred.
  10. Didn’t plan on it. Will be able to save it in 3-4 months. Also, some of you mfers don’t get around on this site. I loosely compared her body and style to Sierra Skye. He only “knows” her by what was posted.
  11. I agree. I’ve found on rare carat, 2 ct Princess, Cushion, and Radiant cuts, which she likes, for high enough grades of the 4 C’s that are good for her, for around 12K. That’s what I think I’m going to go with and the few of y’all that have chimed in with the mindset of “be a bit more practical, 3 month salary tradition is crazy” is confirming my belief.
  12. Her and I discussed this and looked at a lot of different rings and rocks. She said she’d be really happy with a 2 carat after seeing how big it looks on her small hands, and I think that’s reasonable given 1) my salary, 2) shes a really good person, really sweet and loyal to me from the beginning, and 3) the hottest woman I’ve ever gotten to date me (will be 2 years this June). I told her it’s all about surface area, and if I can get a 1.9 carat for 2K less, with the same surface area on the finger, no one will know the difference. I don’t think she’s completely sold on that fact, but is logical and reasonable when I clearly communicate facts to her.
  13. Will be getting engaged this year. I love the woman, and want to do everything I can to make her happy, but also not ruin our savings for a house in the near future. I make a good take home, not surly rich, but don’t have a ton in the savings right now due to immature money management. We’re now both much more frugal and are preparing for the future, but she is a knockout and I don’t want her walking around with a tiny diamond with men thinking she’s easy pickings. For full context, this will be both of our first marriages, and hopefully only. We both have no kids, I’m 32 and she’s 29. I’ve been looking at 2 carat diamonds on rare carat. They’re around 11-13K on the cuts she likes with the custom band around another 1k. In total, that’d be a couple grand under 2 months take home. What say you surl?
  14. Damn I love seeing our OL coach and recruiting team work their asses off for quality recruits. What a great in on the younger brother.
  15. I think you were talking about Foster and I agree with you. It seems like at least an option against more run heavy spread teams. We'll essentially have 2 all conference SS's on the roster in Jones and Foster and 1 all conference FS on the roster in Sterns. We should be able to get all 3 on the field, but 1 or 2 would be playing out of their ideal position.
  16. Let me get this straight: I call you out for shit posting on a thread, while explicitly stating I have nothing against you as a person. Your comeback is you wanted to give me a chance to be more of a man than the wife I don’t have. Thanks Lobo. Have a happy new year.
  17. Seriously, I have nothing against you as a person, but what is the point of posting on a thread essentially stating you don’t know anything and have nothing to offer on the topic? I imagine there are many references in the stupid shit my wife says and does thread that revolve around “giving input on things she knows nothing about” and I don’t even need to read it.
  18. Ya on the football board a hot take is Boyd doesn’t suck. Apparently as a DB, you should never give up a pass completion or you’re hot garbage.
